Biography
Phoenix Ikki (Japanese: 鳳凰星座フェニックスの一輝, Hepburn: Fenikkusu no Ikki)
To get his revenge, Ikki came to steal parts of the Sagittarius Cloth and challenged the other Bronze Saints to a battle for it.
Ikki was a hardened, vengeful orphan who endured six years of brutal training on Death Queen Island that was a hellish, volcanic land to claim the ultimate armor of the Phoenix. Driven mad by hatred and the tragic loss of his beloved Esmeralda, Ikki murdered his tyrannical master and assumed leadership over a ruthless faction of outcast renegades known as the Black Saints. Despising his tragic past and seeking complete vengeance against the Kido Foundation, he made a sudden, dramatic appearance at the Galaxian Wars tournament held in Tokyo. Interrupting a highly anticipated combat match between rival warriors, Ikki completely abandoned his duty as a guardian of Athena, choosing instead to orchestrate a violent raid to slaughter his former peers and steal the legendary Gold Cloth of Sagittarius for himself.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Ikki was a tall, heavily muscled Japanese teenager with sharp, angular masculine features, fierce dark eyes, and a distinct scar stretching across the bridge of his nose. He sported messy, spiky dark blue hair that flared wildly outward from his head. Upon invading the arena, he wore a gleaming, protective suit of armor known as the Phoenix Bronze Cloth, which radiated a deep, metallic blue-orange coloration across his body. The armor featured sharply flared, wing-like guards on his shoulders, a protective chest plate that contoured to his muscular torso, and heavy, protective bracers and greaves guarding his limbs. The most striking element of his equipment was a long triplet of metallic tail-feathers that extended from the small of his back, completing a menacing, avian-inspired silhouette designed to resemble the mythical firebird.
He was shown to be harsh, cold, aggressive, and very much of a loner.
Powers and abilities
Due to being born under the sign of Leo, Ikki came to be allowed to inherit a fraction of the power of that constellation.
Phoenix Ikki possessed a staggering level of cosmic energy known as Cosmo, establishing him as an extraordinarily dangerous combatant capable of effortlessly overpowering elite warriors. He exhibited absolute mastery over a signature, high-impact martial arts technique called the Phoenix Wings Rise, which concentrated intense, high-velocity currents of wind and scorching heat into a single, devastating physical punch that could shatter defensive barriers and blast multiple opponents backward simultaneously. Additionally, he possessed immense psychic proficiency, utilizing an insidious mental attack known as the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist. This supernatural strike directly bypassed physical defenses to pierce an enemy's nervous system, instantly paralyzing their mind and plunging them into terrifying, vivid hallucinations that tore apart their sanity from within.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Phoenix's Wings Rise (鳳翼天翔, Hōyoku Tenshō) :
- Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist (鳳凰幻魔拳, Hōō Genmaken) :
